- [Video: Playing the ball late, right under the eyes, is a crucial skill. This drill focuses on exactly that, with no foot movement, to build pure timing, shoulder alignment, and a solid backlift. It is all about control.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/c2614c5f-025a-4086-a33c-26ccb79208e0)

- [Video: This is a simple but very effective drill to improve bat flow. By holding a ball under the elbow, the batsman is forced to keep his elbow close to his body, which promotes a better backlift and eliminates excessive bottom-hand use.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7e0d3ffc-c8cb-4fd3-8568-d00bf2e0e19e)

## About Mastering Batting Technique

Small adjustments are what separate a good player from a consistent one. I don't just watch you bat; I use video analysis to break down your biomechanics—from head alignment to your lead arm—until your technique becomes muscle memory. It is about building a foundation that holds up when the match pressure is high, not just hitting big shots.

### How We Build Your Technique
Cricket is a game of repetition. When you train with me at our Andheri or Kurla facilities, you won't just stand in the nets swinging a bat. We focus on the 'why' behind every shot.

**Precision Drills**
We use unconventional training methods to force adaptation. For example, playing with plastic balls on tiled surfaces helps you adjust to pace and bounce, sharpening your reflexes for the real game. We also use one-handed drills to strengthen your lead arm, ensuring your bat flow is controlled rather than forced.

**The Mental Side**
Technique isn't just about the physical movement. It is about temperament. In our batting sessions, I set specific goals: respecting the good deliveries, knowing when to leave the ball, and punishing the bad ones. You will learn to survive the tough periods and dominate when the opportunity arises.

**Personalized Feedback**
Whether you are dealing with a technical flaw like a bottom-hand dominance or rebuilding after an injury, I provide 1-on-1 attention. We look at your video footage, identify the hitch in your movement, and drill it until it's fixed. 

No shortcuts, no fancy gimmicks—just the hard work required to build a player who can face any bowling attack.
